mpoletti, you have a beautiful reef. I can only imagine the amount of time and money you have put in. Question, where is your water return located? Did you use nozzles instead of PVC over hanging the back of the tank? It such a clean look.

Slow down Bolo, his head is big enough as it is :lol:

Thank You. I have a center overflow inside the tank. I use PVC as its just a little bit safer IMO.

I saw the center overflow but didn't see your return pvc or nozzles. Did you paint them black to blend into the background?

 

[mpoletti]

It is a drilled tank with bulkheads so the majority of the plumbing is in the stand except the two two return lines that are fed back through the eurobracing.

If this is what I think it is, then congratulations quite an accomplishment. BTW the side-by-side picture of the melons shows how vibrant the MM is compared to the Pink (?), wow!

I don't know what you think it is, but its been 8 years and a day since I have chosen to take a drink

Thanks Dan

 

[DanW]

[mpoletti]

Thanks Dan. Looking back, I think I will have a harder time reefing when that day comes

Nice shot.
